Chapter Thirty-Four: A War of Words

"Wu Guogong, Chu Liuyan didn't want to embarrass you, he just wanted to ask Wu Guogong to think about it, if Ying Tiancheng couldn't stand it, how could the rest of the things be saved. Under the so-called nest, there are no eggs. If Wu Guogong does not immediately use General Xu Da, I am afraid that he will regret it in the future. ”

Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Chu Liuyan was not alarmist, and according to the current situation, these situations were very likely to happen.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and said: "What the Chu military division said is not unreasonable, the current situation is indeed extremely dangerous, no matter what, the immediate priority is naturally to protect Yingtiancheng from being attacked by the generals under the command of Han King Chen Youliang, if we can defend Yingtian City, we can continue to compete with Han King Chen Youliang, and only then can we have the capital to stand side by side with the heroes in the world." ”

Hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was loose, Chu Liuyan lost no time in saying to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Listening to Wu Guogong's tone, I still think that guarding Yingtian is the top priority, but Wu Guogong, do you know that if General Xu Da is not allowed to come out to lead the soldiers and horses to fight against the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang, and wait until the soldiers and horses of the Han King Chen Youliang break through the defense line of General Chang Yuchun and General Tang He, even if Wu Guogong wants to use General Xu Da, I am afraid there will be no place for General Xu Da." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood what Chu Liuyan meant, but he still asked: "What does General Chu mean by this, does it mean that if the Duke of China does not send General Xu Da to face the battle, it is very likely that there will be no one in our army to deal with the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han." ”

Li Shanchang, who was behind Zhu Yuanzhang, also poked his head out and shouted at Chu Liuyan: "Chu Junshi has not looked down on all the heroes in the world, and I also know that General Xu Da is an extremely powerful general in the army, but there are so many generals under the command of Wu Guogong, some of them are generals who can fight, and if there is a small Xu Da, the soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of Ying Tian will not fight." ”

After listening to Li Shanchang's words, Chu Liuyan naturally understood why this was, after all, for Chu Liuyan, Li Shanchang was also a military advisor with a similar identity as her, looking at today's situation, Li Shanchang targeted him everywhere, and it was very likely that Li Shanchang was angry with him in his heart.

Chu Liuyan thought carefully in his heart for a while, and suddenly understood why Li Shanchang wanted to do it against himself.

Since he joined the army, he has made a lot of contributions, he and Li Shanchang are both military advisers, so they will naturally express their opinions on the battle strategy, although sometimes the heroes see the same thing, but there are still many times when they have different opinions, in this case, it is very likely to cause many misunderstandings.

What's more, Li Shanchang is a person who is jealous by nature, and he is a little jealous.

However, this person and Zhu Yuanzhang are one of the best partners, and Zhu Yuanzhang is still extremely tolerant of these things of Li Shanchang.

Chu Liuyan naturally knew these things, but things were like this, and Chu Liuyan didn't have any way.

Looking at Li Shanchang's angry expression, Chu Liuyan already understood the depth of Li Shanchang's prejudice against himself.

Anyway, Chu Liuyan felt that no matter what he did, he still couldn't avoid Li Shanchang's jealousy. In this case, it is better to stand up and be upright, and you don't have to care too much about the opinions of these outsiders.

Chu Liuyan's idea is naturally extremely important, but no matter what, it is still extremely difficult to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to release Xu Da at the moment.

If Li Shanchang gets in the way and wants to get this matter done smoothly, it will be even more difficult.

Therefore, no matter how the situation develops, Chu Liuyan still secretly made up his mind in his heart, and no matter who obstructs him, he will not easily let people mess up the matter of rescuing Xu Da.

Chu Liuyan smiled at Li Shanchang and said: "Chu Liuyan didn't look down on anyone, and the generals under the command of Wu Guogong are also very capable of fighting, but Li Shanchang's military division should be clear. Wu Guogong had already sent General Chang Yuchun and General Tang He to join forces to resist the attack of the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang, but the current situation is that General Chang Yuchun and General Tang He not only could not resist the offensive of the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang, but instead lost several battles in a row and retreated for dozens of miles before they could hold their ground. These two generals could not defeat the Han army under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang, and I would like to ask who else in the army could resist the Han army under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang. ”

After saying this, Chu Liuyan stared at Li Shanchang tightly without blinking, wanting to see what Li Shanchang's defense was.

After listening to Chu Liuyan's words, Li Shanchang already understood that today's matter could not be resolved suddenly, Chu Liuyan's aggressive words were nothing more than wanting to rescue Xu Da, but in any case, Li Shanchang must have stopped the matter of releasing Xu Da, and finally waited for an opportunity to trap Xu Da into it, and the rights in the army have been transferred to his own hands, and no matter what, he can't easily return these rights that have been handed over to Xu Da again.

Li Shanchang's thoughts are like this, and he does this, it should be because from the bottom of Li Shanchang's heart, he has no good impression of Xu Da and Chu Liuyan.

"Chu Junshi only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. Although General Chang Yuchun was defeated, there are many other generals in the army who can fight, not to mention that we still have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Chuzhou to help, so we don't have to be afraid of the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han. Li Shanchang obviously didn't take Chu Liuyan's words for granted, and said in defense to Chu Liuyan.

Chu Liuyan smiled coldly and said: "Military Master Li is really good, temperament (for the sake of harmony), the current situation is like this, it is not really as the military teacher just said. Although there are a large number of soldiers and horses in Chuzhou, but the hearts of the people may not be towards us, how can the military array easily take the lives of the soldiers to joke, if these Chuzhou soldiers and horses can not advance and retreat together with my Yingtian soldiers, I am afraid that Yingtian will lose the lives of many soldiers at that time. ”

Before Li Shanchang could answer, the generals behind Chu Liuyan had already made a noise, and many soldiers had a deep concern for Chu Liuyan's words. After all, they are charging into battle, born and dying, if they encounter some friendly troops who ignore the lives of their robes and flee for their lives on the battle array, it is a matter of pouring the blood mold of the quilt, and it is very likely that because the friendly army escapes, it will make their own side fall into the siege of the enemy, even if the soldiers fight bloodily, it is very likely that in the end, they will leave many people's corpses to stand out from the encirclement, the sword has no eyes, how can you know that these corpses that fell on the battlefield do not have themselves.

From this point of view, the generals under Xu Da's command all thought that Chu Liuyan's words were extremely reasonable, no matter what, when every soldier had hope of life, he was always unwilling to die easily, unless it was a last resort, he had to die. Even the officers and men of the army who lick blood all day long do not want to throw their lives innocently on the battlefield.

Only when the advance and retreat are consistent, and the attack and defense are consistent, these generals dare to trust their lives to the hands of allies with such tacit understanding, otherwise, no one wants to joke with their lives.

Chu Liuyan's words were naturally for their good, if the Chuzhou soldiers and horses quietly retreated on top of the battle array, it was very likely that Yingtian's army would be involved.

Therefore, one of the generals under Xu Da shouted: "What the Chu army division said is extremely reasonable, if we can't conclude that the friendly army can advance and retreat together with us, we are not willing to entrust our lives to the hands of other soldiers, no matter what, we support the Chu army division." ”

There are even generals who echoed and said: "That's right, no matter what, I also have this opinion on this matter, the soldiers are killing the enemy in front, not afraid of the enemy's bravery, the most afraid is that the soldiers around them can't work together, if they meet a bad brother, when they see the enemy army menacing, they don't say hello to us, and they retreat, isn't it terrible." If the friendly army retreats and does not come to report, if we are kept in the dark, will we lose our lives in vain? ”

Li Shanchang listened to the words of the generals under Xu Da's command, and naturally understood their intentions. I didn't feel hesitant, after all, the words spoken by Chu Liuyan and the generals under Xu Da are difficult to refute the truth, no matter who it is, it can't help but think carefully in the face of such a big truth, if a bad word is spoken, it is very likely to offend these generals under Xu Da's rude words and deeds, if he really annoys these people, even if he can get out of Wu Guogong's mansion today, there is no way to return to his mansion.

Maybe tomorrow the corpse will be exposed in the wilderness, and even the family members want to clean up their corpses, and they don't know where to find their corpses.

Li Shanchang was shocked in his heart, and he already understood that he couldn't offend all the generals under Xu Da this time, otherwise, he would most likely die an ugly death.

Chu Liuyan didn't understand why Li Shanchang didn't say anything to refute, but he just thought that his righteous and stern rhetoric had already persuaded Li Shanchang.

Then he turned his face to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Wu Guogong, you have also seen with your own eyes that the officers and men of our army are not willing to fight the enemy together with friendly troops who do not know the details, if this kind of thing really happens, it is very likely that the names of our soldiers will be destroyed in the hands of such friendly troops."

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood the meaning of Chu Liuyan's words, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, just glanced at Li Shanchang with his eyes, and motioned for Li Shanchang to temporarily speak up for himself to resist for a while.

Li Shanchang was originally reluctant to speak to offend those generals under Xu Da, but when he saw Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang casting his eyes on himself, he knew that he had to distinguish a few words for Wu Guogong to relieve his worries.

Li Shanchang opened his mouth and said to Chu Liuyan: "Master Chu, it's not that I disagree with your opinion, it's just that you don't know that Lianchengjue of Chuzhou has already sent tens of thousands of horses to join forces with General Tang He and General Chang Yuchun to fight against the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han. According to the Chu military division, the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou will not help our Yingtian army, but how to explain this kind of thing. ”

As soon as Li Shanchang said such a thing, the generals under Xu Da, who didn't know what to do, were naturally extremely surprised, and these generals didn't expect that Chuzhou soldiers and horses had actually sent troops out to reinforce General Chang Yuchun and General Tang He.

Even Chu Liuyan felt a little unexpected when he heard the news, he didn't know what happened in the short time he left, and he didn't know what kind of method Zhu Yuanzhang used to mobilize Chuzhou soldiers and horses to support General Chang Yuchun and General Tang He.

However, he couldn't think clearly for a while, so Chu Liuyan put this matter on hold first. Turning his face to Li Shanchang, he smiled and said: "It seems that Li Junshi has misunderstood what I mean, and the things I just said did not say that Chuzhou soldiers and horses did not send troops to rescue Yingtian's army, but only that they were afraid that Chuzhou's soldiers and horses would be under the oppression of the enemy, and they were likely to give up resistance, regardless of the lives and life and death of our officers and men, and take the lead in fleeing for their lives. Go outside the city to defend against the attacks of the Han army under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang. ”

Chu Liuyan's extremely sharp words suddenly said Li Shanchang was speechless, Li Shanchang was not sure in his heart that he was in front of the battle line at all, whether the soldiers of Chuzhou could fight the enemy with one heart and one mind with him, if he could really do so, it also depended on whether he could resist the attack of the Han army under the command of the thief Han King Chen Youliang. If this is not the case, then it is very likely that you will lose your life in the battle array.

Li Shanchang knew that no matter which of these two points he was touched, it was not a good thing, so Li Shanchang laughed dryly and said: "Chu Junshi is too elevated Li, Li is just a scholar, and he has no power to tie the chicken, so it is okay to make suggestions, if he is asked to personally lead the troops into battle to kill the enemy, Li Mou asks himself if he has no such ability." ”

"If you don't have such a skill, why would Li Junshi talk about deceiving the world." Chu Liuyan couldn't help but say sarcastically.

Li Shanchang's face was slightly red, knowing that he had lost all his face today, he couldn't help but be annoyed and said angrily: "Chu Liuyan, don't deceive people too much, I didn't care about you before because I looked at Wu Guogong's face, but you actually humiliated me again and again, which is unbearable, even if I tear my face with you today, I have to make it clear to you, why do you want to say that I am a bully to the world." If you can't tell a reason, even in front of Wu Guogong, I have to seek justice. ”

Chu Liuyan smiled coldly and said: "Li Junshi doesn't have to be angry, Chu Liuyan said that you are bullying the world, it is justified, not nonsense, if Li Junshi really wants to know, I might as well explain to Li Junshi in detail, why I say that Li Junshi is bullying the world." ”

Listening to Chu Liuyan's argument, Li Shanchang was furious, and forced himself to hold back the anger in his heart and said loudly: "Okay, since Chu Junshi said so, then please ask Chu Junshi to listen to me in detail, and dissect one or two for me, if Chu Junshi slanders me unreasonably, Wu Guogong is also present today, let Wu Guogong be a witness, and ask Li Junshi to take the blame for me, otherwise I will definitely not rest on this matter." ”

Chu Liuyan snorted slightly and said: "Li Junshi's liver fire seems to be too vigorous, no matter what, I just want to say that Li Junshi can't speak." When Fang Cai talked about this matter, he pointed out that there were many generals in the army who could resist the Han army under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of the Han Dynasty, but at the moment, when it came to asking Li Junshi to lead the army, Li Junshi regarded this matter as a daunting way and did not dare to respond to orders at all. Even if it doesn't make people suspicious, it can't be obtained. ”

Chu Liuyan's sharp words, naturally Li Shanchang was speechless, after all, these are facts, irrefutable facts, even if Li Shanchang wants to deny it, there is no way, Chu Liuyan's words really penetrated Li Shanchang's heart.

Listening to Chu Liuyan talking about this jaw matter, Li Shanchang was naturally a little red-faced, but Li Shanchang couldn't help but admit it in his heart, but he couldn't easily admit these things in person, otherwise, if he confessed these things one by one in front of everyone, then Li Shanchang would lose all his old face.

As far as Li Shanchang is concerned, except for his life, the rest of the things are not a big deal compared to face. So Li Shanchang hurriedly stopped Chu Liuyan's words and said: "Chu Junshi, it's not that I don't want to speak for you, it's not that I, Li Shanchang, am afraid of leading troops to compete with the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang, but the current situation is useless even if ten Li Shanchang come forward, only a talent like General Xu Da can resist the attack of the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang." ”

As soon as he heard Li Shanchang's words, the ice and snow smart Chu Liuyan quickly understood Li Shanchang's intentions, that is, he wanted Chu Liuyan to let him go, and he didn't have to pursue these things.

Since Li Shanchang relented, and had already spoken for himself in his words, and the assertion made by Xu Da was also extremely conducive to his rescue of Xu Da, Chu Liuyan naturally stopped chasing Li Shanchang relentlessly.

Chu Liuyan said with a smile: "Since Li Junshi also thinks that only General Xu Da can deal with the Han army under the command of Han King Chen Youliang, then Wu Guogong thinks about it carefully, and naturally the Russian parliament understands that under the current situation, if General Xu Da is not allowed to come out to lead the army to defend against the enemy, it will inevitably miss the opportunity, and the situation is irretrievable, no matter how the soldiers in the army use their lives, how the soldiers and civilians in Yingtian City resist, it will be useless." ”
